His clinical experience has led to the development of individual patient based therapies using a blend of active exercise rehab and practical skills.

Dylan hopes to use his background of working with a variety of clientele including professional athletes, weekend warriors, post surgical, ICBC, and occupational rehab to help you achieve your goals.

When not in clinic, you may find Dylan enjoying the outdoors, at the gym, chilling at the beach, on the ice, or hacking it up golfing.
